Attractions, Activities and Scene Video in the Far North

Because Far North is so untouched, it has some of the best angling and scuba divers in the whole wide area. From Paihia (Bay of Islands) and Kaitaia in the far north, day by day accompanied trips take you to the beloved 90 mile beach and to the north to bring to life the intriguing rubber, mahori and early western Europe stories.

From surf casting and swim to body boarding on the sandy dune, you can enjoy the pleasures of the sea. Explore Far North with landscape and action video showing Far North's main tourism features and what to see and do.

3 day in Northland, New Zealand

Located 350 km north of Auckland, New Zealand, the Pacific Ocean is separated from the Tasman Sea by the North Sea. Off the Cape Reinga coastline, the northernmost point of New Zealand reachable by highway, the two extend together. Known as the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, the route through Northernland follows a round trip around the mainland.

This is a permitted street (speed limitation 80 km/h) and can sometimes be a little fuzzy, especially when getting on and off the Te Paki Stream. There' a lots to see and do in pretty northern country, so make sure you make the most of your time. On the first part of the trip there is a good portion of riding.

Get yourself prepared for a day out on the roads! Leave Auckland early in the mornings for an adventurous ride north on State Highway 1. At Brynderwyn, turn off to your right to get to the western shore along State Highway 12 (signs for Dargaville). While driving, continue along the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, which also features a bay shaped area with a delphin and a collapsing shaft.

If you miss the signs or decide to go ahead, drive in the opposite lane around the bend. Following the bend to the right and a short drive you make a side trip and a stop at the Kai Iwi lakes for a swim. The Trounson Kauri Park, a small, sheltered Kauri wood, is located twenty kilometres to the north.

The Northland must now protect them, once obscured by these powerful shrubs. The Tane Mahuta (Mauri for "Lord of the Forest"), a 2000 year old Kauri and New Zealand's most powerful forest, continues its trip north. It is well sign-posted along State Highway 12 and less than five minutes' walking from the highway.

There is a wonderful viewpoint in Omapere, along Signal Station Road, which is quickly on the lhs. Apart from a long trip around the harbour, the only way to get further north and via Hokianga is by car from Rawene (about $15 one way). Continue north towards Kaitaia.

There'?s not much to buy or deliver further north than here. When you have four-wheel drives and are assured of driving on the shore, take your first road signs to Ninety Mile Strand on the right! Known as the Waipapakauri ramp, this entrance point is located 6 km north of Awanui.

When you are not sure whether you can drive on the shore, contact the local population. It' s only drive at the north end of the shore, through the Te Paki Stream. It is not sign-posted, but provided you weren't the first person on the shore that night, there will be many tyre marks that will lead you in the right directions.

It requires skillful navigating through the quicksand of a stream (seriously)! Begin in a low speed and do not stop as soon as you begin to drive. At the end of the Te Paki stream, you must take a rest. Outside, when you arrive at the highway, turn to your right towards Cape Reinga.

When you are not interested in going to the shore, take the major northern street and leave the shore outright. Past the Te Paki Stream entry, it is still a good idea to explore the sand dunes. Here you can see the sand dune and the sand dune. Since there is only one street, the trip to the southern part is quite self-explanatory. Along the way to Paihia you will make all the beaches courses that look beautiful.

Once you arrive at Kaitaia, please obey the signposts to Paihia. If you' re going southward, you should stop at Mangonui. In Mangonui there is a legendary fishing and crisps store that is well well worth a trip (Beach Road, Mangonui). It is a vibrant little city, lacking restaurants, sleeping and drinking facilities.

For those with a small budget, the majority of our facilities are on the same blocks as King's Road. Under Wotif you will find the best offers for accomodation in Paihia. The Paihia is the ideal starting point to discover the Bay of Islands. If you are interested in a divers, snorkelers or sailors, everything is available in Paihia.

The Paihia is one of only a few places in New Zealand where you can go swimming with a dolphin. Kawakawa is 17 km from Paihia. When you are here and need to "go", make sure you use the Hundertwasser Restrooms along the head tug - an artistic set of bathroom interiors lined with ceramics, damaged cylinders and found items.

Further southwards, in the Whangarei area ( marked Fahn-ga-RAY), a ceiling of seaweed pours over a fascia. Signposts point to the Whangarei Falls area. You can park your vehicle and walk to the foot of the waterfalls - below there is a favourite bathing area. It is a winding street through Whangarei and beyond, so the journey will probably take longer than you might think.

According to the timeframe you either drive directly to Auckland or explore further. Write down the times, await your arrivals in Auckland, and as you go southwards, just go on an adventure trip!
